Chincoteague Ponies

The Chincoteague Pony

Quoted from Wikipedia, "The Chincoteague Pony, also known as the Assateague horse, is a breed of pony that developed and lives in a feral condition on Assateague Island in the United States states of Virginia and Maryland. The breed was made famous by the Misty of Chincoteague series written by Marguerite Henry starting in 1947. While phenotypically horse-like, they are commonly called "ponies". This is due in part to their smaller stature, created by the poor habitat on Assateague Island. Variation is found in their physical characteristics due to blood from different breeds being introduced at various points in their history. They can be any solid color, and are often found in pinto patterns, which are a favorite with breed enthusiasts. Island Chincoteagues live on a diet of salt marsh plants and brush. This poor-quality and often scarce food combined with uncontrolled inbreeding created a propensity for conformation faults in the Chincoteague before outside blood was added beginning in the early 20th century.

Several legends are told regarding the origins of the Chincoteague, the most popular holds that they descend from survivors of wrecked Spanish galleons off the Virginia coast. It is more likely that they descend from stock released on the island by 17th-century colonists looking to escape livestock laws and taxes on the mainland. In 1835, the practice of pony penning began, with local residents rounding up ponies and removing some of them to the mainland. In 1924 the first official "Pony Penning Day" was held by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, where ponies were auctioned as a way to raise money for fire equipment. The annual event has continued in the same fashion almost uninterrupted to the present day."

Characteristics
Country of origin: United States
Height: 13.2 - 14.2hh
Common Colors: Any solid colors, and famously, tobiano

In general, the breed tends to have a straight or slightly concave facial profile with a broad forehead and refined throatlatch and neck. The shoulders are well angled, the ribs well sprung, the chest broad and the back short with broad loins. The croup is rounded, with a thick, low-set tail. The breed's legs tend to be straight, with good, dense bone that makes them sound and sturdy.

If anyone is ever interested in a breeding from a Chincoteague stallion or interested in buying a Chincoteague, you can contact me! I will create a list of Chincoteague breeders and will edit it as breeders come forward.

I am also actively working on breeding Chincoteague ponies. I am currently working on creating a herd of Welsh Ponies. Sadly my herd refuses to give me a Welsh Mountain Pony stud but I am getting closer! Once I have my first Chincoteague I will post here!

And I am so lucky that he is a pinto!

Hello, I am just sending a second message to up my chances of you seeing this. Yesterday I sold you a Thoroughbred mare named Supernatural. I accept the wrong sale offer and I need to send her back to her previous owner. I would pay you back exactly what you paid for her or more. Thank you for considering.

[LSCHTraining]

I would pay 10k more just for the trouble.
